I note that under [[:Category:Traditions|Category:Traditions]] all the cultural traditions (not just Indian) are named with bizarre and somewhat offensive names that omit the word "music" that should follow. E.g. Indian, Arabic and Greek should sensibly be Indian music, Arabic music, and Greek music. The words "Indian," "Arabic," and "Greek" by themselves can mean a people, a culture, or (except for Indian) a language. These page names and category names should specify "music" or "microtonality" or something else specific. Otherwise they feel very much like they are exoticizing and generalizing traditional cultural musics, much like how 20th century academic Western music theory treats all music outside those by dead Germans as somehow lesser. | |||
